“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

You have relieved me in my distress;

have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”

~Psalm 4:1~

 

Ainsley VandeVuss

Little Anisley is doing better with treatment in the hospital.  Pray she continues to improve.  Pray for endurance of her family members as they stay with her at the hospital and care for three other children at home.

Pine Ridge Monthly Breakfast Benefit

At 8:00 in the morning, people will gather at Pine Ridge United Methodist Church for their monthly benefit.  I don’t know who will benefit this month, but I do know it is always a worthy cause.  The breakfast buffet is wonderful, as is the company.

Peanut Butter for God’s Storehouse

During the next month, we will be doing a peanut butter drive so God’s Storehouse in Amite will not run out of the “perfect food” for good nutrition and long shelf life that doesn’t need refrigeration.  Any donation, a jar or peanut butter by the case, will be useful and appreciated.  You may deliver directly to God’s Storehouse in Amite or drop off at FBC,Kentwood.  If you choose to take it to the church, enter at the office entrance and leave you jar(s) on the right by the stairwell.  Any jars left there will have a label applied to them that has the Scripture, John 3:16, added.  We hope to help hearts as well as stomachs.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

“Down the Up Stairs” – http://odb.org/?tz=-07

5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,

 did not consider equality with God  something to be grasped, 

7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, 

being made in human likeness.

 8 And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself and became obedient to death

— even death on a cross! 

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

 in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:5-11
